The imperial scale goes up in 1" increments, i.e.1" to 11" with the 12th increment identified as 1ft. The next increments are then also in 1" increments i.e.13" to 23" with the 24th increment identified as 2ft and so on. Hope that's clear and helps. **Q: Does this display inches as well as cm's?** A: Yes it does **Q: I. Need to know what is 43 and 50 inches ?** A: As far as I can remember to 5 or8 meters long. **Q: Is there a wrist strap? It doesn’t show in the photos. Surely it has ?** A: Hi, I don't have one here to check, but there is no mention of it and looking at the body of it, there is nowhere to attach a wrist strap. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent value *by P***H on 1 June 2026* Bought for casual (i.e. non-trade) use.
